The Augustinian abbey of Saint-Jean-des-Vignes was the first
monastic house founded in the diocese of Soissons during the reform
movement of the 11th and 12th centuries. It played an important rôle in the
architectural, technological and social history of its region until the
French Revolution. The book is organized them thematically. Part I explores the various sources
for study of the abbey, including standing architectural remains,
archaeological material, archival sources and pictorial
representations. Part II
engages with the foundation of the abbey, the acquisition of its landed
domain and the development of its parish. Part III considers first the
Romanesque and then the Gothic phases of construction. The changing plan of the abbey is
traced, and the ways in which construction influenced the functional
life of the monastic community is treated. Using the unpublished customary, Part
IV explores the ritual aspects of daily existence as it was lived in
the Gothic chapter room and refectory. The final section, Part V, engages
with infrastructure and daily life, through study of the medieval and
early modern water management system at the abbey. Throughout these
chapters, the focus remains both on the site of Saint-Jean-des-Vignes,
and on the significant rôle it played in the larger context of regional
religious life, monastic settlement, and artistic as well as economic
patronage from the eleventh to the seventeenth
centuries.
